Max Hourglass

by Rae L.

Program Description

MAX HOURGLASS is a 3-day, compound-focused program designed to build the physique most women actually want: strong glutes, defined shoulders, and a tighter-looking waist. This program prioritises: • Glute development through hip thrusts, hinges, and unilateral work • Upper body width to create a natural hourglass illusion • Lower body strength to build shape without bulk • Calf training for balanced, athletic legs ⸻ The structure is intentional. Each session uses: • High-impact compound lifts for maximum return • Minimal isolation work where it matters (glutes, shoulders) • Progressive overload to ensure real change ⸻ Designed for women who want results, not just workouts. MAX HOURGLASS is for you if: • You want to build glutes, not just “tone” • You want shoulders that make your waist look smaller • You’re done with classes and random training • You want a clear, repeatable plan that works ⸻ What makes this different • 3 sessions per week = efficient, realistic, sustainable • Max 5 exercises per session = focused, not overwhelming • Compound-first approach = better results in less time • Structured progression = you actually improve week to week ⸻ Expected outcomes (if executed properly) • Stronger, fuller glutes • More defined shoulders • Feeling strong AF • A more pronounced hourglass shape ⸻ This is not a “burn calories” program It’s a build your physique program. If you train with intent, track your progress and push your sets, this program will change how your body looks. HH
